[Buckeye McFrog]

A bit counterintuitive perhaps. One would surmise that all of the porkulus largesse was being funneled to blue states.

[Vigilanteman]

It is sort of like the government goodies which get funneled to Indian Tribes.

Those that get the most are poverty stricken, drunk and drug addicted. Examples: Pine Ridge Reservation (South Dakota, Sioux), White Earth Reservation (Minnesota, Chippewa).

Those who get very little are doing fine. Examples: Unitah and Ouray Reservation (Utah, Ute), Osage Reservation (Oklahoma, Osage).

Those who get no government goodies whatsoever are doing the best. Example: Lumbee (North Carolina, no reservation).

Why do you suppose that is?
